WILMETTE LIFE. FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1924 11 Garden Club Meets to View a Display of' Dutch Tulips RS. Harry K . . V.issering w~s the speaker at the meeting of the Garden club which was held at her home on Monday, May 26, in order that the club and the members of the Kenilworth Garden club, who were cordially invited to meet with them might have a view of the beautifui collection of tulips which Mrs. Vissering herself brought from Holland on her last visit abroad. Before leaving America, Mrs. Vis. sering procured a permit from the department of a~riculture to import almost anything she wished, and no matter what other trips seemed alluring, she did not allow herself to be tempted to deviate from her plan to visit the bulb fields in the vicinity of Haarlem, Leyden and Lisse. These gardens form a long strip, bounded on one side by the dunes and on the other by land, which has been reclaimed by draining the lakes and marshes. The fruitless efforts of growers in countries other than Holland to emulate the perfection of the Dutch bulbs show that the soil conditions ther~ contain something that cannot be found elsewhere, and Holland reigns supreme in the propagation of the crocus and the tulip, while France is a close rival in the hyacinth and narcissus world. Though Mrs. Vissering found the bulb growers busy men, and the gardens real business institutions, they took the time to carefully explain the culture and history of their varieties. Mrs. Vissering's questionings and her purchase of some of the choicest varieties, her tulip beds, with the brilliant colorings of the "May flowering," and the pastel shades of pink· and lavender "Darwins," the "Cottage" tulips with their pointed petals and the "Breeders" with their wonderful varieties of deep rich colors ranging from buff to brown, present a scene of indescribable beauty and charm. Miss Isabel Cline added to the enjoyment of the occasion with a group of charming "bird songs." Her mother, Mrs. ]. S. Cline, accompanied her on the piano. -oThe Kenilworth Garden club met at the home of Mrs. Hugh A. Foresman on Friday afternoon, May 23. The members of the Home and Garden club were invited to attend this meeting and enjoy with the others, Mrs. Foresman's very attractive garden which is now abloom with spring flowers, but owing to the inclement weather, guests were forced to view the luxuriance of bloom and foliage from indoors.
